The Golden Scroll

New entries are in bold.




These are the surviving records of the heroes of the Grand Duchy of Karameikos from 978 to 1007. The major events surrounding this time are:

978-985 The Age of Exploration: This is the time most of the known heroes made a name for themselves by being commissioned by King Stephan of Karameikos or other interest groups to explore the many ancient castle, caverns and manors that traveresed the realm, abandoned from earlier ages. Everett the elf, Stalfor the dwarf and Marina the cleric are among the first, with Viper the barbarian, Greegan the thief and Gandalph the Bard coming soon afterwards. This was also when many of explorers sailed to the Isle of Dread (982-985) in hopes of finding one of the fabled Black Pearl. This age ends with the defeat of the Immortal known as 'Evilman' by seven heroes.

986-992 The Clan Wars: This is a time when many minor clans throughout the lands begin to come into conflict with one another: the Silverglade Elves vs. the Sandhill Gnomes, the Thieves' Guild vs. the Helion Keng Clan, and the King of Glantri vs. the Baron of Malpheggi, and the Black Eagle vs. the priesthood of Karameikos. Many famed adventurers gathered powerful allies and try to fight each other over the treasures and powerful relics discovered throughout their explorations. Yohan Lancelot, Sheela Lancelot and Furball Applecarrier become famous for their open conflicts. Everett, Viper, and the ninja Shadowsword race to Zeaburg to find the Holy Grail, which Shadowsword claims. Everett becomes Clanmaster of Silverglade. The Black Eagle uses the power of a mighty relic known as the Symbol of the Dragon to bring a huge amber dragon against Karameikos which is defeated by Gandalph, Shadowsword, and the Sword of Destiny.

993-997 The Black Eagle Revolt: Although the Black Eagle Barony does not order any outright attacks until 997, the Dark Paladin maintains open hostility with his cousin, King Stephan the Good, throughout this time. Sheela joins the Black Eagle in August of 993 through an elven general known only as Friend and works hard to bring resources to Fort Doom and sow chaos in the king's lands. Most of the other adventurers such as Everett, Viper, Gandalph and Yohan become enemies of the Black Eagle. On Aug. 17, 997, Friend orders an assassination attempt on King Stephan (which Everett thwarts) and all his allies. Wererats attack Threshold, mummies attack Silverglade, and his personal guard takes Kelvin. Everett takes an elven force south to defend Specularum, where he finds a hobgoblin army led by Shadowsword. The two fight and Everett wins and then saves Shadowsword from falling to his death but loses his Sword of Law in the process. The Black Eagle forces are defeated and the Dark Paladin loses on Nov. 14 when the Black Eagle lose Kelvin to a third attack.

998-999 The Time of Peace: For a short time there is relative peace. Everett resigns as Clanmaster of Silverglade and disappears. The Immortal known as Master combines Everett's lost Sword of Law, Viper's Sword of Neutrality, and Shadowsword's Sword of Chaos into the Sword of Destiny and sends it into Yggdrisil, a magical tree that grows outside the mansion. Viper gets caught up in the tree's magic and is sent away along with it. Sheela becomes of a baron of the island kingdom of Ieriendi.

1000-1001 The Cataclysm: On Jan. 1, 1000, the invisible second moon of Mystara explodes, leading many to believe that the end of the world is near. The next year, a great tsunami hits the shoreline, wiping out many islands and coastal cities. Magic spells become unpredictable and clerical spells become useless. Fallen Immortals travel the realm as mortals. New monsters called Denars begin to appear. Yohan's daughter is kidnapped by an elven mage named Veredith under the command of the dragon goddess Tiamat. Yohan is killed by Christopher Lashan, Duke of Tel Akbir, on the same day while defending the winged elf Faeya from Black Eagle forces commanded by Friend. Sheela kills the king of Ieriendi and takes control of the island kingdom as well as the Black Eagle Barony, renaming the Dark Paladin's capital from Fort Doom to Citadel. She also allies with the pirates of Gerald and puts Specularum under siege. Shadowsword takes a small army to Ieriendi and razes the city. Veredith leaves Tiamat and drops his disguise, becoming Everett again; he then joins the Black Eagle and later becomes a werewolf. Yohan returns to Mystara as the fallen angel Yohana. Sheela becomes a Duke of Thyatis. The Dark Paladin's Sword of Decimation is destroyed by Everett IV. King Stephan abdicates his throne and disappears; the throne is taken up first by Viper's son, Victor, who is later overthrown and replaced by Everett's son, Everett IV.

1002-1006 The Denar Crusade: The Denars multiply at a dangerous speed, using humans and other hosts to propagate themselves. Armies are raised to help defend the cities against the Denar onslaught. Gandalph inherits the throne of Karameikos for a short time. Everett, Shadowsword, Joseph the fighter, Basara the mystic and Scherezade the cleric climb the Mountain of Law to use its power to cleanse the atmosphere of the infectuous dust that gives birth to the Denars. There they find the King of Selenica, who slays the Denar overlord guarding the mountain. Scherezade uses her power to cleanse the atmosphere of Denar particles, but she disappears when an earthquake shatters the mountain. Yohana and Everett join the Black Eagle, which begins to take control in Selenica. A deal is made between King Stephan and the Dark Paladin to hold a tournament outside the castle to decide who would take control of Selenica, which the king wins. A Denar army then conquers Selenica but a party led by Gandalph uses the Dark Paladin's magic shield to destroy them. Everett allies with Tiamat and kills his son just as Everett IV became a paladin. An army of demons headed by Yohana and Shadowsword takes control of Selenica. Yohana is later slain by Stalfor in Ylaruam. Sheela raises an army to form a crusade; she begins sweeping through the lands, destroying many of the monsters in Thyatis and Karameikos. The battle against the Denars is won on Jan. 1st, 1007, when Gandalph, Calix the avenger, Queen Sheela, and Marcus the elf destroy the last two Denar overlords holed up in Threshold.

1007-???? The Demon Wars: King Stephan, The former king of Selenica, holds a victory tournament in the forest of Alfheim in honor of Gandalph's party killing the last two Denars. Everett, disguised as a rogue named Karlak, gives Marcus a magic mirror, who gives it to Gandalph. King Stephan later asks Gandalph to lead a group of settlers to Threshold, but when they get there, they're routed by giants and undead led by the Dark Paladin priest Dharnin. Gandalph makes a deal with the priest and withdraws the survivors. Sheela's advisor, Thebes, sends Sheliatan soldiers to Wereskalot to help the village kill a clan of werewolves, but the army is decimated with the help of the werewolf clanmaster Basara, Everett, and a red dragon named Starchild. Everett finds the gemstones Clydno and Eidden at the bottom of Deepheart caverns and gives them to Tiamat. Michael Sandhill and Erica Speartip team up with Phaeros the sailor and a Soderfjord priest named Gregory Mendell to smuggle weapons for Akesoli in their war against Darokin. Darokin is razed to the ground, and the party is captured in Specularum but escapes. An Immortal named Ninhursag finds Viper the barbarian, who had long been trapped inside a primordeal dimension thanks in part to Sheela. Viper is sent back to Mystara, near the Alignment Mountains, and climbs the Mountain of Law, where he becomes a paladin. There he meets Scherezade, now fully healed after her fall from the earthquake, and Ninhursag sends them both on a quest to Ostland to find the Holy Grail.

The Dark Paladin commands Calix to hire some Crimson Knight mercanaries and go to the Isle of Dread in order to enslave the native population there and force them to haul gold up from the underground City of Gold and bring it back to his cult in Ylaraum. On the isle, Calix defeats the two dark elf sisters, Betch and Wechlia Xilyn, and then hires them to guide him through the underground tunnels. The dark elves introduce Calix to the wizard Grant so that he could translate for them. But after they take the island natives captive, Grant betrays the party and frees the slaves. Calix finds the City of Gold and uses kobolds to haul the gold up instead, but he loses most of the treasure when dark elves attack them on the way back up. Everett then appears to Calix to inform him that Grant took his ship and has left them stranded, then offers to rescue them if he joins Tiamat. Calix agrees and teams up with Everett, capturing the two dark elf nobles, Dorgin and Tails D'naga, in the process. Calix helps Everett search the tombs in Mizraim's Valley of the Kings for shamir worms, needed to complete a new spell. Calix forces Tails to help them defeat the undead Ramses, but the dark elf later escapes along with the Staff of Wishes that Everett had previously stolen from Marina Prayer.

Calix and Phaeros kill an evil cleric named Zoon and Phaeros takes over the dead man's tavern in Specularum. Calix and Phaeros take command of the ship of a pirate named Captain N'bod and use a magic portal found on Captain N'bod's ship to find his treasure on Moon island. Meanwhile, Everett and Starchild return to Basara's inn to take revenge on the city of Wereskalot, but are captured by the Grey Robe and taken to the dungeons of Glantri city. There, they escape and return to Wereskalot, only to see Basara's inn destroyed by the Grey Robe. Calix is then sent to Alfheim to destroy a trade caravan headed for King Stephan while Everett is sent to Specularum to seduce Faeya and take her to Riverrock so that he can kidnap Glade, the son of Calix and Faeya. Sheela puts Specularum under siege, but when Everett and Faeya try to run the guantlet in a ship, they are caught by a chain net that Sheela had set up. Everett and Faeya fly on board the ship, and Sheela comes out to meet them. Watching from a crystal ball, the matron mother of Tails D'naga has Calix, Faithe, Everett, Faeya, and Sheela wished into her dungeon using the Staff of Wishes. House D'naga forces them all to perform infiltration missions for them, including stealing a piece of Jaser's scroll, giving House D'naga the ability to take control of the giant obsidian golem that Betch had once helped Jaser create. Tiamat enlists the help of one of the dark elves inside House D'naga, Galeron, to help keep Faithe safe while her dragons attack. Calix and Tiamat's dragons destroy the obsidian giant as it attacks House Xilyn and captures Dorgin. Tails tries to convince Sheela not to trust Tiamat and to help him rescue Dorgin so that they could help her escape. Sheela leaves Tails and follows Starchild instead, but Starchild backstabs her and leaves her behind. Everett and Faeya travel back to Riverrock, but Stalfor reads Everett's mind and has him captured. Stalfor coerces Everett into telling him that Tiamat plans to use the gemstones Clydno and Eidden to control the demon armies that will invade Selenica. Instead of sending Everett back to Tiamat as a spy and risk his mind being read, Stalfor tortures Everett and then demands a final battle, one on one, at the elf's old house outside Selenica in 3 months, offering to bring his old magic items if Everett brought Clydno and Eidden.

General Victor surrounds Phaeros' new tavern and presses him for information about Michael, Victor's mother's killer. Michael, Erica, and Gregory attack, trying to help Phaeros escape, but Victor levels the tavern with a Ring of Earthquakes, which Phaeros then steals. The party escapes through Zoon's magic portals onto the S.S. Renegade, the same ship Gandalph is taking to Shogaria. Tiamat's demons come through Everett's magic mirror, and Phaeros' party is taken to Castle Styx by the dragon Acidsmelt. Phaeros is given to Calix while the others are imprisoned. The ship is then destroyed when a huge dragon passing by detects the demons, grabs the ship, and throws it onto a barrier reef to destroy the demons. Gandalph is able to save the crew by casting Fly on them all and then teleports them to Sheliatis after making a deal with the Empire's regent king, Jorah. Using a Magic Mirror spell, Gandalph shows Jorah and the council that Sheela is still alive, but they ask Gandalph to keep it a secret. With the help of Grant, Sheela returns to Specularum on Calix's ship. She finds Specularum conquered, but also finds her most trusted generals, Harper and Victor, are at war with the Sheliatin Council in Citadel. Sheela secures the help of Gandalph, a halfling hero named Regan Goldfury, and Councilman Thebes to help make a surprise attack on the Sheliatin Council.

Everett and Calix return to the tombs of Mizraim and find the shamir worms in the Tomb of Akehenaten, which Everett trades to a servant of Ba'al Marduk for a feather of Ma'at. But the demon then shows Everett an image of Erica being tortured and demands that Everett also hand over the gemstones Clydno and Eidden as well. Starchild, knowing that Erica was being held in Castle Styx, assures Everett that the image is a hoax without giving away the fact that he knew this because Tiamat was keeping her captive. Everett calls the demon's bluff, dispels the portal, and returns to Styx to use the feather to create the spell, Dark Bomb. Meanwhile, Calix, Phaeros, Michael and Erica are sent to a desert castle to defeat the Crimson Knights guarding the castle, and steal the Spear of Destiny from a lich named Apkieran. Tiamat then has Everett, Calix, and her dragon guardians enter Selenica and use five rune stones to open a giant portal in the center of town to bring in her demon and dragon armies. Stalfor convinces Everett to switch sides and together they kill Galeron and destroy one of the runes, dispelling the gate before half of Tiamat's demon army makes it through. Stalfor's army, a mixture of dwarves and Dark Paladin mercanaries, captures Phaeros, and attempts to use him to divert Tiamat's forces. Phaeros instead tips off their location and uses the Ring of Earthquakes to bring the guildhouse down on top of the army, killing most of them.

Meanwhile, Scherezade and Viper help save a relic from Helena's Church when a rebel named Hamza initiates a Yishmaelite revolt that burns many religious sites in the city of Urushalem. Starchild then brings Viper to Silverglade to kill Everett, but Everett convinces Viper join him, which helps the elf rescue Michael and Erica from Castle Styx. Sheela marches into the Sheliatin Council and cuts Jorah's throat, but Thebes dies when Gandalph teleports everyone to the Sheliatin capital, Fantasia. There they find the conspiracy led by her son Adolph, who made a secret alliance with a high priest to the Dark Paladin, Avragis. Adolph tries to get Sheela to surrender using her old friend Greegan as a hostage, but Sheela refuses and Greegan is killed when Phaeros uses his Ring of Earthquakes on the store he was tied up in. Scherezade finds Sheela just as she orders her party to kill Adolph. Trying to protect a young boy, Scherezade knocks Sheela off her horse with her hammer, but is trampled in the process. Gandalph kills Adolph, Sheela kills a general named Marius, and Vanessa convinces Scherezade to join Gandalph's party. Everett and Viper try to help but Everett is beaten by the werewolf mage Numa, and Viper is paralyzed by Avragis. Gandalph and Vanessa rescue the two of them and retreat with Sheela into a forest on the outskirts of the city. After Gandalph teleports in reinforcements and elite soldiers loyal to Sheela arrive, the queen splits the party into a diversionary force in Fantasia and the main force attacking Citadel. Sheela and Viper clear Citadel's roof and capture the castle, with the last two councilmen who hadn't fled committing suicide. Gandalph is allowed into Fantasia Castle and parlays with Avragis and Dharnin, and then disrupts a ceremony led by the Dark Paladin with a magical hornblast. The diversionary force defeats the rest of Avragis' party and a cavalry of mercanaries, with Phaeros backstabbing a mage named Magdalene while pretending to be charmed, and the party returns to Citadel for a victory feast. In retaliation, the Dark Paladin razes Fantasia to the ground with an army of Slayers and hellhorses. While Phaeros, Regan, and Shadowsword go to spy on the Slayer army, Sheela meets with King Stephan, the Dark Paladin's cousin and long-time enemy. King Stephan tries to convince Sheela that allying with the Dark Paladin is necessary with Tiamat having taken over Selenica. When Sheela refuses, the king tries to assassinate her, but she escapes and has her army retreat back to Specularum.




Timeline

978

Everett Speartip III and Stalfor Fireforge explore an abandoned castle near Everett's hut on the outskirts of Selencia. The rusty porcullus locks them in immediately and they are forced to search for another way out. They find a baby dinosaur, and use a key that was strapped around it's neck to open one of the castle's locked doors. They destroy a strange contraption and find some treasure before making their way into an underground tunnel that leads directly out of Everett's well.

Using a compass he found in the abandoned castle, Everett navigates his way through the Dark Forest and arrives in the village of Darokin. He's hired to kill a thoul: half troll, half ghoul, causing havoc in the village. He climbs Thoul tower to find a magical flame blocking the way. But using a Ring of Fire Resistance he found earlier, he gets past the magical barrier and kills the thoul easily.

Everett and Stalfor fight goblin bands off Selencia and spend their free time at the XXX Bar. The Good King of Selenica begins hiring them for odd jobs and spy missions.

Everett and Stalfor are eating lunch outside when an earthquake shakes the gorund and a giant purple worm appears in the city only to descends again, leaving a gaping hole in the ground. Everett and Stalfor follow the giant wormhole for miles, killing monsters along the way. They finally find the exit, in the middle of a field not to too far from Silverglade.

981

Marina Prayer and two other clerics join Everett and Stalfor in order to help kill the evil wizard Bargle, who holed himself deep within the ruins of a well guarded mansion. The party kills Bargle and his ogre bodyguards but Marina is the only cleric to survive and decides to stay with them.


Marina Prayer

Greegan gets Everett's loyal friends Stalfor, Marina and Joseph to go down one tunnel while they go down another. Nivek jumps out of the shadows and attacks. Everett turns Nivek into a fly and Greegan surrenders.

MC Viper the barbarian hires an elf and a cleric to help explore a local cave near Threshold. The cleric is killed while treasure hunting and Viper and the elf barely get back escape. Viper then builds an axe trap on his front door and invites the elf over. His companion is hit by the trap when he opens the door and Viper finishes him off, taking all the treasure for himself.

Everett, Stalfor, Marina, Greegan, MC Viper decide to follow a map to the
Isle of Dread to find a giant black pearl. An elf named Furball Applecarrier also joins but departs in anger over an argument regarding travelling position. The party (excluding Marina) robs a bank to fund the trip, killing a giant guard spider. While out to sea, they come upon a merchant ship. Everett creates the illusion of a red dragon, scaring all the merchants onto the smaller ship. The party steals the merchant ship and sails off. The smaller ship sinks, killing the merchants. On the way to the island, they meet a pixie named Katrina who magically flies the ship the rest of the way.


Katrina the pixie


Exploration is slow once on the Isle of Dread. Marina Prayer and Greegan use Katrina's powers to fly to the village of Torlynn where they explore Barrak's Keep, a dungeon of ice, with a wizard child named Gandalph. Greegan and Gandalph do not get along from the start. While staying at the village inn, Greegan mutilates Gandalph in his sleep and Gandalph retaliates similarly. Meanwhile, Everett watches them with his crystal ball. Jealous of Marina going off on her own, Everett uses Katrina to lure Greegan and Gandalph back to the Isle of Dread where he ambushes them. He defeats Greegan with a lightning bolt. Gandalph surrenders and Everett decides to spare him. So, Gandalph joins up with them.

After finally making their way into the island's central platau, the party invades the cliffside temple, fighting the inhabiting tribesmen. The party descends to it's watery basement to find the black pearl resting inside a giant open oyster. When Everett picks it up, the shell closes on him. The others pry it open and escape with Everett and the pearl, fighting giant crabs along the way. Gandalph adds to the haul when he uses his earth elemental to mine some gold in a nearby cave.

The red dragon Everett found in the bugbear mansion and raised returns to him and aids Everett in locating Whata, the chaotic cleric who had been responsible for burning down may churches using three dragons, ridden by Whata and her monsters. Everett's party gains the allegiance of two other red dragons and ambushes the cleric in a mid-air dragon fight. Everett's force destorys Whata and her dragonriders and Everett parts with his dragon friend again.

Everett, Stalfor, Marina, Greegan, Gandalph, Splinter and MC Viper are teleported by Master the cleric to Evilman Tower. Everett drinks a potion that changes his sex. This annoys him stupendously, but he is able to dispel it. Everett finds the Deck of Many Things and starts pulling out cards. The magic cards make him lose his house (now near Glantri) and all his treasure. The group continues and finds the Sword of Destiny in the tower and uses it to open a portal to the basement. There they fight the avatar 'Evilman'. Some, like Splinter, are magically confused and attack their friends. Stalfor lays the last blow to Evilman with his Gorogn Axe and Evilman disappears. The tower begins to shake and gold pieces begin to shower on top of them as the tower crumbles, but the party leaves it all behind, fleeing the tower just in time. Everett finds a diamond ring that got caught in his boot, which he uses to ask for Marina's hand in marriage. The seven celebrate at MC Viper's house. Viper tries to get in bed with Everett and Marina and a fight breaks out. Gandalph runs in and casts a web at Everett. Everett and Marina leave the room and spend the night on the floor.

There is a wrestling contest and it soon comes down to Everett, Furball, and Gandalph. Everett promises to reward Gandalph if he helps him win. Gandalph accepts and takes out Furball. Everett takes out Gandalph and gives him a Helm of Reading Magic and Languages for the help. Everett gains two potions out of it and Furball vows venegence. Viper meets Ellena Charisma and takes her to his castle chamber only to find the dwarf Henry Headchopper sharing his quarters. He throws the dwarf out the second story window and into the moat and then shares the sheets with Ellena. Stalfor wins the jousting contest and is presented with a Dagger of Magic Detection. But the dagger vanishes as Gandalph invisibly steals it.

Gandalph is asked by the king of Glantri to infiltrate a castle that has been erected in the Mapheggi Swamp and kill the wizard there. Gandalph refuses but embarks on the quest to warn the wizard of the king's hostility. On the way, a green dragon attacks him and breathes on him, suffocating him with poisoning smoke. The dragon gives him an antidote, the Potion of the Unicorn Horn, but the antidote itself will put him in a deep death-sleep within time if not treated. For that, the dragon puts on Gandalph the same quest, to kill the Malpheggi wizard. With no choice, Gandalph accepts.

Everett's dragon returns and takes him to Dragon Peek, where he is told that a family of gold dragons had attacked and defeated them, stealing their home and treasure. Everett decides to find out the gold dragon's side of the story and is assured that they know nothing of the red dragons. Everett refuses to help the red dragons. This enrages his dragon friend who reminds him of all the times he saved Everett's life. Everett still refuses to help and is dismissed. A few minutes later, the other red dragons attack Everett's party. Evertet's dragon flies in and helps defend them, killing his own friends in Everett's defense and then flying away without a word.

They are travelling through an open field when an elf named teleports out of nowhere, pulling Furball off his pegasus as he falls to the ground. The mustached elf pulls out a giant sword, the Sword of Decimation, but the heavy sword slips from his grasp. Viper picks up the sword and disintegrates into ashes. Saying that he is a friend of the Dark Paladin, the elf opens a magical gate of great width and a small army of kobolds marches through the great portal and attacks. Everett destroys most of them with ice storms and fireballs while Gandalph teleports to Selencia with the Holy Grail. Friend picks up some of Viper's ashes and teleports after him.

Once away from Viper, he ties the Holy Grail under his arm sleeve. When the party reunites, they combine their staves and create the Staff of Masterous. They use the staff to open a portal to the Sword of Destiny. Clones of Zanzar and Whata guard the sword but they're defeated. Then the huge amber dragon Veledam flies in and breathes on the party. Gandalph is the only survivor of the blaze. The dragon tries changing itself to look like Shadowsword, but is unable to get the Holy Grail away from Gandalph. Unable to wield the Sword of Destiny himself, Gandalph uses the Holy Grail to raise Everett who atkes the sword and uses it to defeat Veledam. This destroys the the curse given to her by Friend and changes back into her true form, a gold dragon. Veledam thanks them and flies off with the Amulet of the Dragon. The Sword of Destiny crumbles to dust, but they find the Dragon's Eye ruby, worth millions in gold. They have the gem split into 9 pieces to divide equally. (The gems eventually find themselves in the hands of Sheela, Yohan, Gerald the pirate, Sagus the warrior-druid, Keltar the wizard, as well as being hocked to common merchants.)

Aug. 1: Everett and Calix explore the tomb of Seti I, where Ygerna is killed by shades. A magic orb that Everett picks up causes him to switch bodies with Calix. In the Hall of Truth, a curse is set on the party and they are asked to choose to either lose all their treasure, to die, or to allow someone they love die. Everyone in the party chooses the third option. The party is attacked by xeg-yi and Calix's sword, Drownard Spirax, is destroyed. As the party battles the dark energy globes, Tails slips away and steals the Staff of Wishes. He then brings it to the city where he pays for a mage to wish himself and his brother Dogin back to Svartalfheim. Velina is wished back home.

Aug. 2: Everett tries to have Ygerna reincarnated, but she comes back as an ankheg. Everett kills the giant locust with a Magic Missile.

Aug. 3: The spirit of the Mountain of Law, Ninhursag, discovers the primordeal dimension Viper is trapped in and sends him a portal back to his home world. Viper is gated to a garbage dump in the Valley of Hinnom, near the desert city of Urushalem. Viper then begins climbing the Mountain of Law, successfully answering riddles posed to him by images of King Stephan, Everett, and Master. Because time travels faster on the Mountain of Law, it tkaes him 5 months to reach the top.


Aug. 4: Calix, still in Everett's body, is sent to Alfheim to stop a trade caravan from reaching the king of Selenica. He meets a revel group in the forest of Alfheim. He later kills an elf and a dwarf to rob them.

Aug. 8: Calix is welcomed to the elven city of Truedyl. He ambushes the caravan outside the city and destroys it with fireballs.

Sept. 24: Everett, still stuck in the body of Calix, is sent to Specularum in order to seduce Faeya and steal Glade, her son by Yohan. He is forced to bluff his way past some Black Eagle soldiers, who find him talking to Faeya in a tavern.

Sept. 27: Everett, Faeya and Marcus try to escape Sheela's siege but are trapped by a sea net made from chains that Sheela has set up. Everett, Faeya and Marcus fly over and confront Sheela and her general, Edson. Meanwhile, Matron D'naga forces a goblin mage to use the staff and make a wish to have Everett, Outigar, Calix, Betch, Wechlia, Faithe and everyone within sight of them appear before them in shackles. Sheela and Edson are caught by the spell and are caught as well. The staff immediately disappears and the goblin mage is killed by the drow.

Sept. 28: The prisoners are told that if they participate in a hostage exchange with House Xilyn, they will be freed. If they try to rebel, Edson and Faithe are to be killed. In reality, Matron D'naga, has already informed Xilyn's ally, Matron Rikaunim, that Matron Xilyn has secretly welcomed her exiled daughters back home, an act worthy of death. The prisoners are taken into House Xilyn territory, guarded by Dorgin, Tails, Weapon Master Darthva, and the mercanary Galeron. The party fights a contingent of House Xilyn's own soldiers on a mushroom hill. The guards are largely killed by Calix using a combination of Everett's fire and ice spells. The party reaches House Xilyn and frees Betch and Wechlia. Once the drow are gone, Calix and Sheela attempt to turn on their captors, but Tails threatens them with Faithe and Edson's deaths. Using her enchanted polearm, Faeya skewers Calix (in Everett's body) out of fear that Calix will be killed. Meanwhile, using a crystal ball, Matron Rikaunim sees Betch and Wechlia walking freely in Xilyn territory. What she doesn't see is that when Matron Xilyn finds her daughters, she imprisons them. Once the insurrection is put down, the drow take the prisoners back to House Xilyn and imprison them again.

Oct. 1: Matron D'naga forces the prisoners to invade House Rikaunim and steal some of the magical writings of Jaser. Sneaking in the house is easy because House Rikaunim has rallied all their troops to attack House Xilyn, leaving only a skeletion guard force behind. The prisoners fight a guardian spider in House Rikaunim's altar room, which is killed by Everett. House Rikaunim's forces gain word that they have been invaded and abort their attack on House Xilyn. Dorgin and Tails leave the body of a Xilyn soldier to further implicate them. The prisoners are taken back to House D'naga and are told they are to be sacrificed to Lolth, despite their services.

Oct. 8: Tiamat convinces the mercenary Galeron through a dream to join against House D'naga when her dragons attack. Starchild and two other dragons, Lifeswallower and Crystalclaw, rescue the prisoners while Galeron rescues Faithe. Thinking the attack is from Matron Xilyn, Dorgin uses the Scrolls of Jaser to revive an obsidian giant and leads it against House Xilyn, but only after House Rikaunim has sent their own forces into the castle for battle. Starchild immediately sends Marcus away through a magic gate to convince Sheela and Galeron to help with their escape. The remaining prisoners kill two D'naga nobles and try to kill Matron D'naga but are overwhelmed by her personal guard. Everett and Sheela are captured but are traded back for the bodies of the D'naga nobles. The prisoners also bargain back most of their equipment before heading back to House Xilyn to pick up Betch and Wechlia. Calix and the three dragons attack Dorgin and the obsidian giant outside House Xilyn as the rest of the prisoners sneak into the castle. The obsiadian gargantua turns Calix to stone, but Crystalclaw destroys it with her frost breath. Dorgin tries to escape using his floating disc, but Starchild captures him. Tails follows the prisoners inside House Xilyn and meets up with Sheela and Galeron. Tails tries to convince Sheela that he can have his brother send her back home without informing Matron D'naga. But when Sheela remeets Starchild, she tells him of Tails' attempt to bribe her. Feeling that Sheela had outlived her usefulness and wanting to cripple Sheliatas, Starchild kills Sheela. Everett rescues Betch and Wechlia, who learn that the rest of thier family has been slain. Everett and Faeya are then teleported to Thyatis while Calix and the rest of the prisoners return to Castle Styx with Dorgin as their prisoner.



Oct. 9: Everett and the winged elf Faeya reach Thyatis but the Thyatin court offers little help. Everett and Faeya then head for Granite Falls to meet Glade, and are joined by a mage named Jezebel, who claims to have been sent by the Thyatin emperor.

Oct. 22: Still in Calix's body, Everett, along with Faeya the winged elf and Jezebel the mage meet with Stalfor. Jezebel reveals that she is a creation of the Dark Paladin and explodes, knocking out Faeya. Jezebel's magically enchanted arms and head continue to attack Everett and the dwarves. Jezebel reveals Everett's identity before Stalfor finishes the assassin off. Everett attempts to bluff his way out, but Stalfor uses an amulet of ESP to reads Everett's mind. Confirming that he really is Everett, Stalfor ambushes him while he sleeps. With Everett tied up, Stalfor tries to coerce Everett into telling him everything, reminding him of their age old friendship. Everett confesses, telling the dwarf king everything about Tiamat's invasion and his recruitment of Calix. After getting everything he knows, including how Tiamat plans to use the gemstones Clydno and Eidden to control the demon armies that will invade Selenica. Stalfor realizes that getting the gems Clydno and Eidden are essential and considers sending him back to Tiamat as a spy, but fears she will be able to read his mind the same way Stalfor did. Deciding Everett wouldn't survive as a spy, he breaks Everett's teeth and taunts him to secure Everett's rage against him. Stalfor demands a final battle, one on one, at the elf's old house outside Selenica 3 months from that day. Stalfor promises to bring all of Everett's old magic items if Everett brings Clydno and Eidden. Everett agrees to the meet him there and Stalfor ties him to a rock outside Granite Falls, where he is rescued by a non-enthusiastic Calix.

Oct. 23: Tiamat holds a council with Everett, Calix, Galeron and the Xilyn sisters. Everett and Calix are returned to their former bodies and are each given command of an army of devils. Galeron is sworn in as a priest of Tiamat. Tiamat reveals that Everett's capture has advanced their timetables and they would need to begin a 3 month training course to prepare for the ascension of Faithe. Everett is surprised to hear the attack will be on the same day that Stalfor set, but he says nothing about it. Tiamat then sends her guardian, the black dragon Acidsmelt, to go through a portal connected to Gandalph's magic mirror and eliminate him. The mirror had originally been given to Gandalph by his servant Marcus, who in turn had gotten it 10 months ago at the Alfheim Games by Everett disguised as Karlak.

That same day General Victor follows a lead to find Michael, who had killed Victor's mother Ellena years ago. Taking a squadron of Sheliatin guards, he, Phaeros and Thimb surround the outside of the tavern on the sea docks of Specularum. Victor tries to press Phaeros to tell him where he can find Michael. Michael, Erica and Gregory intervene and a fight ensues. Phaeros looks in his bag to get out his magic cloak but instead finds a note from Calix telling him he needed to borrow some of his things. Victor uses his Ring of Earthquakes to level Phaeros' bar. Gregory responds by charging Victor, castrating him with his sword. The party escapes into the ruins of the tavern, locking themselves in the cellar where a magic portal was known to open at random time intervals. After a long wait, they escape through the portal onto the S.S. Renegade, the same ship Gandalph was taking to Shogaria. They meet Shadowsword briefly but are taken captive by Acidsmelt. She takes them back to Castle Styx where they are split up, and Phaeros is put under Calix's charge. Everett's daughter, Erica, and her husband Michael are kept locked up in the lower dungeons without Everett's knowledge.

The S.S. Renegade is overrun by demons and Gandalph, Shadowsword, Krissella and Darrek fight the demons in order to take back the ship. However, a huge blue dragon passing by senses the demons and swoops down, grabbing hold of the ship and lifting it into the air. Gandalph tries to negotiate with the dragon, but learns that the dragon is determined to drop the ship on the nearest reef to ensure the destruction of all the demons on the ship. Gandalph casts Fly on all the survivors of the S.S. Renegade and evacuates the ship. Some rafts are made from parts of the ship and the people are adrift for 3 days.

Oct. 26: Gandalph teleports to Silverglade and meets with Marina Prayer in her home on the elemental plane of air. Gandalph then meets with the regent king of Sheliatis, Jorah. When Gandalph learns of Sheela's disappearance, he uses his magic to find show the council that Sheela is still alive. Jorah asks that Gandalph not tell anyone about this while he discusses the development with his council. Jorah in turn gives Gandalph support in providing room and board for the refugees from the S.S. Renegade. Gandalph begins teleporting the survivors to Citadel, warning them of the dangers beforehand. Some do not survive the trip.

Dec. 11: Using his magic, Gandalph locates Sheela and teleports to her room in Specularum.

Dec. 20: The halfling tracker, Regan Goldfury, is hired to follow a caravan and protect it from thieves.

Dec. 23: Two drow fighters attack the caravan. Regan finds them holding some hostages as they search through the merchants' papers. Regan attacks the drow fighters and sends them running. The news of a halfling defeating two drow warriors in battle spreads quickly throughout Sheliatis and Regan becomes a famed hero overnight.

Dec. 29: Gandalph's Lore spell reveals that the Amulet of Ultimate Wisdom was at one time a codex that belonged to an Immortal named Ninurta, who Gandalph knew by the name of Master. The ancient book was changed into an amulet by Ninurta so that it's power could be used to unite the Alignment Swords into one master blade, a weapon that could pierce Immortals. Gandalph learned that he was chosen to wear it because of his relation to Everett, Viper and Shadowsword and because of how mentally advanced he was for one so young. It was not used to create the master weapon immediately because, like the Alignment Swords, it was also being used to train it's owner as well as gain power through the holder's own experiences. At the time of the amulet's creation, Ninurta was using Gandalph and the sword holders that King Stephan chose for him to fight a war against the forces of Pazuzu. Pazuzu was the Immortal Quirinus, who had previously been given the name Evilman, to conquer the Grand Duchy of Karameikos. Although Ninurta could not fight Pazuzu directly, he found a way to send Gandalph and the others to Quirinus' tower to fight for him in his place. Later, Ninurta had the swords and amulet brought to one of the roots of the magical tree, Yggdrisil, near Glantri. There, he united the three swords into the master blade and sent it into another dimension until it's proper time. Because Viper was paralyzed by Rinifae's spell, he got caught in the expanding rift and was taken into the primeval dimension as well. Two years later, the Great Cataclysm struck Mystara. Ninurta was banished from the heavens, along with a third of the Immortals, to the material plane of Mystara. The goddess of the dark moon, Hecate, is banished as well, causing Mystara's second moon, the normally invisible Deluna, to explode. Having lost all his powers, Ninurta made his way to Karameikos, where he met up with Sheela, but was killed by a red robe when her party was ambushed by denars.

Dec. 31: Gandalph meets the druid Taliant and the halfling Regan at a New Years Eve party in Citadel. Gandalph talks to Taliant about becoming a druid himself.

Jan. 9: Starchild flies Everett, Calix, and Galeron to Akhetaten, the city built by the Mitzrian king and location of his tomb. There they find the Shamir Worms in the tomb of Akhenaten, completing the quest given to him by Marduk's servant 11 months ago.

Jan. 10: Starchild flies Everett, Calix, and Galeron to Valley of Hinnom, where a portal to Gehenna is opened. One of Marduk's servants trades the Shamir Worms for the Feather of Ma'at, the component he needed for the creation of some self-designed necromancer spells. But the demon then shows Everett an image of Erica being tortured and demands that Everett also hand over the gemstones Clydno and Eidden as well. Starchild, knowing that Erica was being held in Castle Styx, assures Everett that the image is a hoax without giving away what he knew. Everett calls the demon's bluff and dispels the portal.

Jan. 14: Queen Sheela, her advisor Thebes, General Victor, Grant the mage, Gandalph, and Splinter meet secretly in Citadel to discuss how to take Sheliatis back. Thebes convinces Sheela that Jorah is hungry for power and won't relinquish the throne without a fight.

Jan. 15: Tiamat sends her guardian Acidsmelt to steal the Spear of Destiny from an ancient desert castle of Apkieran. Acidsmelt takes with her: Calix and the drow sisters, Phaeros, Gregory, Michael, and Erica. News of the reapperance of the Spear of Destiny causes three independent parties in Urushalem to be formed in an attempt to find the spear: a Thyatin party and a Yishmaelite party sets out to steal the spear, while a party of Yehudah is sent out to destroy it. Acidsmelt, disguised as a human, joins the Thyatin party. They break into the castle, kill the Yehudah party, watch as Apkieran kills the Yishmaelite party, and then follows the lich down several more levels before fighting it in it's lair deep below the castle. Acidsmelt is stunned, but the party is victorious in defeating the lich, even though Calix falls into a drunken stupor. Gregory opens the chest and finds the spear, but having already been promised betrayal by Calix, the Thyatins steal it from him and nearly escape, though Calix is able to run the last one down. Although Michael is killed in the tunnels below the castle, Acidsmelt has him brought back to life and returned to his cell in Castle Styx along with Erica.


Apkieran's Castle


Jan. 17: Everett finishes researching Dark Bomb. He also trades Dorgin for a Blackstar Guantlet.

Jan. 22: Everett, Calix, and Tiamat's guards open a portal from the first hell to the center of Selenica. Everett and the dragon guardians fly to the edges of the city to place runed stones in the form of a pentacle in order to create a large enough portal in the center of the city for an army of demons to pass through. Stalfor waits at Everett's house, but when he doesn't show at the agreed time, he heads to Selenica. Stalfor uses Everett's Ring of Illusions to disguise himself, and finds Everett guarding the runed stone at the western gate. But when Starchild, Galeron, and some dragons show up, Everett warns them and attacks Stalfor. Using a drow dart gun, Stalfor causes Starchild and two other dragons to fall asleep, and a third one after it had already swooped down and grabbed him. Everett follows the sleeping dragon to where it crashes inside Selenica while Galeron waits and guards the rune at the wall. Everett finds Stalfor, aho asks him to at least fight by sword rather than magic. Everett decides he can't fight Stalfor and switches sides. Stalfor then acts dead as Everett flies him back to the wall. They then team up together to kill Galeron. Stalfor chops Everett's rune stone in half with his adamantite axe, stopping half of Tiamat's army from entering Selenica.

Stalfor takes Everett to a thieves' guild where he had managed to hire a fighting force combined of Riverrock dwarves and Black Eagle mercanaries. Phaeros and Gregory are captured by some of the mercanaries who take them back to the guildhouse. There, Phaeros convinces the Dark Paladin priest that he will help them by diverting Tiamat's forces to another part of the city. Instead, Phaeros leads them right to the guild, where the dragons destroy the guildhouse, killing near all the dwarves and mercanaries, including some of Stalfor's generals. Everett and Stalfor survive and manage to tunnel out of the fallen structure. They decide to split up, Stalfor going back to Riverrock for reinforcements, and Everett to Alfheim to warn King Stephan. Everett opens a magic gate, sending Stalfor back to Riverrock and himself to Alfheim. He meets with King Stephan and tells him about the new demon army led by Tiamat in Selenica.


Tiamat


Jan. 23: Viper and Scherezade, guided by a Yishmaelite named Mustafa, take a tour of the four divisions of the city of Urushalem: the Thyatin quarter, the Yehudah quarter, the Yishmaelite quarter, and the Ra-Amenian quarter. While staying at the Crescent Inn, the city comes under attack from a Yishmaelite revolt, led by a general named Hamza, and fueled by Yishmaelite poverty and rumors of the Spear of Destiny being stolen by the Thyatins. Viper fights some Yishmaelites in the street while Scherezade goes to protect the Church of Helena, which holds the relic known as the True Cross. Scherezade creates a magical barrier of hammers in front of the church, barring access from the Yishmaelites who want to burn it down. Viper meanwhile helps the Yehudah general, Ezra, and the Thyatin general Commodus, defeat another band of Hamza's men in the city streets.

After Scherezade's barrier disappears, Hamza's main army charges the Church of Helena. Scherezade stops the first wave of attackers from burning the True Cross and some hostages, but is unable to save the church's head priest, Father Mark. Scherezade instead animates Father Mark as a zombie to fight them off. Viper, along with brigades of Thyatins of Yehudah, arrive and charge into the burning church, helping Scherezade carry the True Cross to the second story. One Yishamelite tries to take a hostage out of the second-story window, crawling along the side of the building, but Viper sends his baby pheonix, Needle, after him, causing the Yishmaelite to fall to his death. Viper ties a rope around the True Cross while Scherezade bashes a hole around the window large enough for it to fit through, and the relic is lowered to the courtyard below. Hamza's men are defeated by the Thyatins, who reward Viper and Sceherezade for saving the relic.

Feb. 1: Scherezade and Viper leave Urushalem for the village of Leaf. That night, Starchild lures Viper away and tells him he can take him where he can get his hand healed and get revenge on Everett. Starchild takes Viper to Silverglade Castle, where Marina heals his hand, allowing him to use Master's Sword. Marina also tries to convince Viper to leave the sword with her, but Viper refuses and meets up again with Starchild.

Starchild and Viper wait in the forest until Everett appears just as Starchild expected him. While riding Starchild, Viper stabs Everett with the sword, but it has no effect on him. Everett creates a Purple Worm, but Starchild quickly burns it to death. Everett hides, causing Viper and Starchild to split up, but when Viper finds Everett, Needle convinces them to talk it out. Everett convinces Viper that he's being used and gets him to stand aside as he fights Starchild. But Starchild defeats Everett and then then opens a magic gate to Styx Castle, telling Viper that it's a portal leading back to Scherezade. Viper goes through it, but it instead leads him into a forest inside Styx Castle. Starchild opens another portal nearby and buries Everett in the same forest before flying off to get reinforcements. Viper finds Everett's body and hides it in a different place before Starchild and some other dragons find him. While trying to escape, Viper hides inside a cavern near the room's ceiling, and is surrounded by Starchild and the other dragons. Viper uses Master's sword to destroy the mountain around him, causing a smokescreen and allowing him to escape.

Meanwhile, Everett wakes up and convinces some demons to bring him to where Michael and Erica are being held in order to speak to them. Once he finds them, he opens a portal to Sheliatis, and escapes with them. Erica then convinces Everett to open a protal back to Styx Castle and bring Viper to Sheliatis as well.

Feb. 5: Grant hires Regan as a bodyguard. Sheela, Regan, Thebes, Victor, Grant, and Gandalph break into the Sheliatin Council chamber. More guards are called but Gandalph webs the door shut, with Grant on the outside. Sheela cuts Jorah's throat and declares herself Queen. The council surrenders but the mercanaries hired by Jorah continue to try and hack their way through the web. Gandalph creates a stone wall, blocking the way in. Thebes suggests Gandalph teleport the party as close as possible to Sheela's self-constructed capital, Fantasia. There they would reveal Sheela's return to where her most loyal support would be comprised. Thebes himself dies teleporting there, and the rest of the party finds a brigade of mounted mercanaries waiting for them nearby. The brigade is led by a flying warrior named Marius, who Gandalph distracts as Sheela and Regan escape into Fantasia. Victor and Gregory take a line of defense to slow the mercanaries down, but after the horseriders pass them up, Victor turns on Greogry and tries to kill the cleric, having never forgiven Gregory for making him a eunich. Gregory, nearly defeated, paralyzes Victor with a spell and escapes.

Grant finds Everett and Viper in Citadel and tells them to help Sheela out in the adjacent capital. Fly spells are cast on Everett and Viper and the two fly above Fantasia, looking for the queen. The two fall into a diversionary trap that seperates them. Numa, a werewolf from Basara's clan, lures Everett into single combat and defeats Everett in a wizard battle. Viper tries to use his Sword of Destiny, which he dubs the Annihilator, on a magical disc-riding mage named Magdalene, but is unable to get close enough to attack her. Vanessa catches Viper's attention and gets him to join Sheela's fight in the center of town.

In the center of the unpopulated capital, Sheela is confronted by her young son, Adolph. Adolph explains that the Dark Paladin's return had prompted him to make an alliance in which authority would be turned over to the Sheliatin council and the Dark Paladin would have a base to mount his attack on Selenica. Adolph criticized Sheela's capability to rule, quoting previous betrayals and naked aggression the queen had participated in in the past. Believing her reappearance to be the downfall of Sheliatis, he tries to convince her to retire. To ensure this retirement, Greegan, long thought dead, is brought out begging for his life. Sheela orders Adolph to be killed and Greegan is shot in the back by Adolph's sniper, Nira. Gandalph kills Adolph with a magic missile and Sheela kills Marius in a mid-air sword fight.

Meanwhile, Vanessa the mage and Scherezade the priestess dock their ship outside the harbor and enter the city only to be attacked by a centaur and djinni. After becoming seperated from them, Scherezade comes upon Sheela just as she is ordering the death of her son. Taking to Adolph's defense, Scherezade attacks Sheela. Scherezade throws her Hammer of Thor as the queen charges her on a horse. The hammer knocks Sheela off the horse, but Scherezade is trampled. Regan tries to steal Scherezade's hammer, but it's magic pulls him back along to her grasp along with the hammer.

Calix, magically disguised as a pirate named Garth, and Phaeros, disguised as a Thyatin named Tidus, enter Fantasia. Calix gets into a fight with a heavily-bearded cleric named Avragis while Phaeros is charmed by a werefox named Rene. But once Adolph is killed, Avragis leaves the fight with Calix and heads towards the other fight with Gandalph, Sheela, and Viper. Greegan is pulled into a hunter's shop by Adolph's mercanaries.


Nira the sniper and Avragis the high priest


Viper flies in to save him, blasting a hole in the wall with his Annihilator sword, but Avragis paralyzes him with a Hold spell. With Avragis distracted, Calix is able to save Phaeros from Rene's charm. Calix quickly causes the werefox to drop to her knees in surrender, and he orders her to release Phaeros from her grip. Recognizing Greegan, Calix has Phaeros follow him into the hunter's shop he was taken into. Inside, they find Regan has already backstabbed the guards holding Greegan hostage, but that Greegan himself is unconcious. Calix, Phaeros, and Regan lock themselves in the hunter's shop where and start trying to block the mercanaries from getting in, but the mercanaries pour in from the hole Viper has made. Surrounded, Calix, Phaeros and Regan escape through a window, leaving Greegan and Viper behind. Phaeros uses the Ring of Earthquakes to bring the building down on top of half the mercanaries, giving them the distraction needed to escape.

Gandalph uses his Staff of Chaos against Magdalene, killing her with a falling anvil. Avragis dispels Sheela's flight, causing her to fall to the ground, but Gandalph rescues her. Before leaving, Gandalph and Vanessa concoct a plan to rescue Viper. Gandalph takes position in a building across the street and summons an earth elemental. The elemental digs into the fallen rubble of the building and finds Viper. Vanessa, having made herself invisible, immediately grabs Viper and flies off. The werewolf mage Numa tries to dispel her flight but fails. The party takes refuge in a nearby forest, where Scherezade and Darrek help heal the party while messengers are sent to pull in soldiers loyal to Sheela.

Avragis resurrects Magdalene, but Adolph's body is too far gone to bring back.

When the Hold spells wear off of Viper and Victor, Victor tries to goad his father into killing Michael for the death of his mother. Viper refuses and Victor disowns his father.

Feb. 6: Gandalph teleports Stalfor, Shadowsword, Darrek, Krissella, and Splinter in to help Sheela. Victor tries to convince Sheela not to trust them, but Sheela accepts the help.

Feb. 15: 350 members of the Sheliatin elite guard, led by Captain Ramiro, arrive to back Sheela. Sheela sends most of the party as a diversionary force to Fantasia as she, Viper, and Scherezade and the elite guard (Hasted by Gandalph) to retake Citadel. Gandalph flies to Fantasia Castle where he asks to parlay with Avragis. Gandalph is allowed in talks wtih two Dark Paladin priests: Avragis, the High Priest, and Dharnin, governor of Threshold. Meanwhile, Phaeros takes to the southern gate of Fantasia and uses his cloak to try and charm the guards. The guards call Rene the werefox over and after recognizing him, she tries to charm him once again. This time Phaeros is ready for her, but he mocks being charmed to gain her trust.

When the alarm sounds in Citadel, Numa flies out from his post towards the castle, but is followed by Everett, Stalfor and the others. Numa flies to the nearest guard post and reinforces himself with mercanary archers, Magdalene, and some monsters. Numa blinds Everett with a spell and nearly escaspes using Everett's Staff of Planar Travel, but Everett summons a giant eagle (a roc) that tears out Numa's throat. Rene and her cavalry of mercanaries arrive and she orders Phaeros to attack. Phaeros shoots arrows at Everett but misses on purpose. Rene casts Feeblemind on Everett, causing him to lose his ability to cast spells and think clearly. The mercanary brigade launches a stream of arrows at him, but Erica, Michael, and Regan use their bodies as human shields. Pierced by many arrows, Erica tells Everett to escape before Everett sees her fall to the ground. Distracted, Shadowsword's wrist is pierced by an arrow. Everett morphs into a wolf and races after Erica, but smells only her red robe, which has magically teleported her away from harm. Grabbing Regan and Michael, both gravely injured from their sacrifice, he flees.

Hasted and flying, Viper uses the Annihilator sword to blast a hole through the inner gate and main entrance of Citadel, but takes an arrow in the jaw and falls to the ground. Scherezade makes her way to the council chamber to find only two councilmen left, who foretell of a doom brought on by the Dark Paladin before committing suicide. Viper, Sheela, and two elite guards storm the rooftop of Citadel, decimating an entire brigade of mercanaries.


Sheela and Viper storm Citadel


Magdalene dispels Everett's roc and fireballs Krissella, mortally wounding her. Phaeros sneaks around and backstabs Magdalene, killing her. Shadowsword throws smoke bombs into the ranks of the archers, confusing them as his apprentices (Razorfoot, Nightstorm, and Free Willow) route the mercanaries. Stalfor kills the hill giant, Lugg, and Tiberius the centaur surrenders to Shadowsword while Rene's cavalry of mercanaries flee. The party sets camp in a nearby temple dedicated to the deified Sheela. Krissella is healed but Shadowsword is forced to amputate his hand. Meanwhile, Gandalph uses the Horn of Yehoshua to disrupt the Dark Paladin's Ceremony. He teleports back out and meets with the rest of the party and takes them back to Citadel.

The party eats a victory feast but it is interrupted by a retalitory strike against Fantasia by the Dark Paladin. The party climbs to Citadel's roof to see an army of hellhorses flying in the moonlight, descending on the small city. As the army razes Fantasia, the Dark Paladin can be seen riding on a giant black dragon. Phaeros, Regan, Shadowsword, and Vanessa fly out to spy on the army while Gandalph calls a Council of Light to discuss their options. They decide to split up and see what reinforcements they can gather.


The Dark Paladin's slayers raze Fantasia as the capital's residents watch
